Success Stories
A few stories of our learners who have moved into a positive onward destination
Ryan
After finishing our Catering program and completing his Level 1 Certificate in progression, Ryan got a great job installing air-conditioning units around London.
He now travels independently to job sites, using the skills he learnt with us, showcasing his strong problem-solving abilities and adaptability.
Though Ryan's path changed, he was able to apply his training and experience to a new career in HVAC. We're proud of his success and we wish him well in the future.
